This is a dA friendship gift, semi-request, and most of all, Part 1 of my half of an Art Trade that I'm doing with my dear friend, .
For part 1; I drew a picture of her absolutely beautiful character, Suisho/The Rainbow Universe of Hope, dressed in a Pink Moon fuku designed by my other dear friend, =Sailor-Serenity, in which she had taken from this deviation: [link] This colorful character was very fun to draw, and I really love how she came out!!
For part 2 of my half of our trade, I am to draw a picture of Ouka Divine the First, in which will have to wait a little while longer... since I'm just about out of blank pages in my current sketchbook. Once I get a fresh-new sketchbook, so I can continue on making many new drawings, I'll besure to get started on her.
The lineart for this was actually drawn a few months ago, and it took me quite a while to get finalized (due to other projects in needed to get done & posted). Last night, while wanting to find something to finish-up to submit the next day, I found this and decided to finish the coloring. ^_^
I'm so happy of how this came out, especially with the colors & shading. I hope you'll like this, everybody (especially you Ouka-Chan, and my apologies for the very long wait)!
Drawn on 11x8 1/2 sketchpad, with a No. 2 pencil (and in my own traditional art style), fixed, cleaned-up, colored & shaded by using Adobe Photodeluxe Home Edtion 3.0., and finalized on MS Paint (for thin boarder, colored bubbles, text effect, and artists' signature).
